60090 - Java applet not running correctly

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[wacheo]

The java applet in the url above does not seem to run.
Instead of displaying the menus, etc, it just display something like:

   Java Applet ...
   Sending events to applet. LOAD
   Sending events to applet. INIT

and stops...

I see this on trunk build 2000-11-11-03 using the java plugin that shipped with
Netscape 6.0 release (version 1.3.0_01).

Confirming.  Possibly related to bug 58074 (some similarities in the error
messages).

From the Java console:

index)

At the moment, Java is not known to work on the trunk, only the RTM branch,  
The CVS tag for this is Netscape_20000922_BRANCH.

We'll check into this when we get Java working on the trunk.

Ed, is there a specific bug for this java not working on the trunk problem ? 
Today, I cannot even install the java plugin on the linux trunk 1130. Thanks!

Comment 5

[edburns]

Shrirang, there is not yet a bug for: java not working in the trunk.

I'll let you know when there is.

I had a similar -- perhaps identical -- problem with a public library catalog
until recently, but it works fine now on release 0.7.  A quick glance at the
initial screens for the Toronto Public Library (whose URL is given in this bug
report) and the catalog I was using (King County, http://webpac.kcls.org/) shows
that they look similar, and are probably the same software.

Just another link where this bug still is pressent in 0.7

Joe, can you please investigate this?

I tried to bring up the page (http://tplwpac.tpl.toronto.on.ca) with Netscape
4.X on Linux and on Solaris, and could not bring it up either (got error: "Could
not connect to server").
Reporter: It looks like the page has something that does not work with Netscape
browser (either 4.x or 6, either Solaris or Linux). It does not seem to be a
Mozilla specific problem.

By the way, I just tested Mozilla0.7 and Mozilla from RTM branch, they both
seemed working OK (with or without Java plugins). One thing to remember is that
on Linux, a debug-enabled mozilla would not work with a debug-disabled Java
plugin. Make sure they are compitable.

Did you check http://www.fb-webbank.dk, ? that page works perfectly
with netscape 4.7x / linux.

Comment 11

[Joe Chou]

"www.fb-webbank.dk" seems to be a different problem, please open a new bug.
